Under Cover

**Martin0660** · 10-12-2009, 07:54 PM

The day I hate the most .....

I have a pile of traveling for work coming up. Basically won't be home much until Thanksgiving so we put the car in the garage for the last time this fall and covered it up ....

Good news is, I have a pretty good plan for the winter upgrades this year.

First on that list is making the rear end a little more resistant to off idle launches :D Have all the parts here to convert to coil overs, also going to a big external gate and I think the EEC will be gone ....

A little paint work is also on the agenda ;)

Lots of plans, little money :D

Is this car still for sale? I wish I had the money I'd love to rock that thing around.

Yes it's for sale but unlikely anyone will buy it. I'm going to go one last round of upgrades this winter then it's "done" as far as i'm concerned. After next summer it will be just a driver for me unless it gets gone ;)

This summer will be gathering parts and next winter the mad dash happens to get the Pinto together. We are going to get a little wilder on that one.

I typically drive this one until the last minute myself. My insurance lay up is Dec / Jan / Feb so I've driven it as late as Thanksgiving. My issue this year is I will be home 5 days between now and then.

I just run an RT plate on my car so when the whenever the weather is good and it hasnt been salted yet ill drive it.
